Kara Higgins, first and foremost, is a mother to six children, biological, adopted, and fostered. After adjusting to life parenting her children from hard places, Kara recognized the significant impact that trauma has on every aspect of life. Working as a midwife in a large community health center, delivering more than five-hundred babies of women who were trafficked and abused, often immigrants and refugees, she began studying and immersing herself in trauma informed care, learning all that she could to meet the needs of not only the children in her own family, but of children in local delivery rooms and in Rwanda as well. She and her husband founded Imana Kids: Orphan Care Ministry, an educational sponsorship program in Rwanda with a focus on trauma informed interventions, learning, and care, setting it apart from other international orphan care programs. As founder and co-director, she believes that the only long term and viable solution for ending the orphan crisis is to provide a safe space for healing and a toolset for breaking the cycle of poverty. Kara has been trained and certified in Cultivating Connection, a parent to parent program under the umbrella of Empowered to Connect. She facilitates classes as well as one on one coaching for foster and adoptive families, social workers, counselors and medical students on applying trauma informed care, TBRI (trust based relational interventions). Kara has more than twenty-four years of experience as an international healthcare provider and orphan care advocate for some of the most vulnerable populations of women and orphans. She has performed speaking engagements with women’s groups and international missions’ conferences. Kara loves good coffee, meaningful conversations, snuggling babies and 90s hip hop.

As the CEO of Soaring Scarves Academy, I am deeply committed to revolutionizing music education through the integration of movement, storytelling, and building musical literacy. Our philosophy revolves around the belief that "music is movement, and movement is learning," emphasizing the intrinsic connection between physical engagement and musical understanding. Through our platform, we provide educators with comprehensive resources and training to seamlessly incorporate movement into their lessons, allowing students to actively engage with music. At Soaring Scarves Academy, we recognize the power of storytelling as a means of connecting students to music on a deeper level. By weaving narratives and themes into music lessons, teachers can captivate students' imaginations and create memorable learning experiences. Through our training programs, we equip educators with the skills to integrate storytelling techniques that enhance musical literacy and foster a deeper appreciation for music. Additionally, we emphasize the importance of "moving through music," encouraging educators to explore movement as a means of interpreting and expressing musical ideas. By incorporating activities such as dance, body percussion, and creative movement, teachers can provide students with kinesthetic experiences that reinforce musical concepts and enhance their overall understanding. Through our guidance and support, educators learn to create dynamic and interactive classrooms where students actively participate in their musical journey, building both literacy and a lifelong love for music.
